Oxymorons

This post is dedicated to a sulky, disappointed, hopeless future self. While I don’t like meeting her that often, I keep running into her every now and then, so I just want to have proper etiquette in case I have a severe urge to punch her.

For an adventure loving person like me, it’s mighty boring trying to engage my mind in the same old problem. I’m not really speaking of escapism. Confronting issues is okay. Obsessing over and prolonging them isn’t. Some times, it’s not even in my hands, the situation that I have to face. Apart from the usual hardcore solutions that come to mind, here are a few small ‘adventures’ I would love to embark on in case I’m in no mood to be moody. *unintended oxymoron, if any*.

So oxymoron-ically speaking, if someone or something does you harm, cry no foul. Instead do something good for your soul. Here are a few activities that come to mind:

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: 'I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.' But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get. - Warren Buffet
